Frequently asked questions
No. Solavello is built for solo travelers who want to meet nearby travelers in real life. There's no matching, no swiping, and no romantic framing.
No in-app chat. Solavello is designed so the real conversation happens face-to-face once you find someone nearby.
No. Other travelers see that you are nearby, but never your exact coordinates.
Travelers shown in the app are within 100 meters — they could be in the same hostel, café, or plaza as you.
A Traveler's Plan is a short post about what you are doing, where you are going, or what you want to ask. It gives nearby travelers a natural reason to start a conversation with you.
Each country you check in from is added to your Travel Map — country by country.
Mine shows the countries you have visited. Network shows countries visited by travelers you have invited. Combined shows both on the same map.
You invite travelers you actually meet. As they keep traveling, their countries appear on your Combined map and your shared travel network grows.
